Week 28

Well, I think this is week 28 and I just want to say, that I'm supper excited because I have logged my food this week be it good or bad all week including my dinner for tonight. I've had points left some days and dipped in to my weekly points. I got some activity points, although not a lot, but I've done more than 3500 steps everyday, which is pretty good. Some days I only get in about 2500 which is horrible!

Had some great food this week. Maybe I should start blogging our menu because I need a place to reflect back to our meals.

I feel very blessed to have a wonderful husband who supports me in everything I do and loves to cook for me and with me!

Sabotage

The last 2 days have been difficult emotionally because of things happening in my personal life that I'm not ready to write about. What I am willing to write down is that we are moving and have decided to leave all our friends and family and make a major change that we've been talking about for 15 yrs.

I see how hard it is on our family, our parents are older, our children are the only grandchildren on one side and the only local grandchildren on the other side. While I realize how hard it is on family, it's what we feel is best for us and our children. The stress of not exactly knowing when we will move and thinking of all the things that we have to do to move is SOOO stressful.

Trying really hard to keep things positive for my kids, but in my efforts to work full-time, be a positive mommy reinforcing that this is an exciting time for all of us, I have found that I have resorted to bad habits with my food.

I wish I could get myself in to a workout routine so that I could make that my obsession instead of eating 3 cookies, fast food for lunch and other junk I can't even think of at this point.

It totally sucks that I sabotage myself for that split second of what I think comforts me to only feel guilty about it after the fact and regret it but know I can't change it because what's done is done.

I vow today that I will go out for a walk instead of a walk to the kitchen to get something not good. I will go for a walk instead of getting something that is good for me if I'm not hungry.

Every day is a challenge. My favorite saying is what I found on fitago.com several weeks ago.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

I gain comfort from the physic that I saw... 3 angels showed up in my cards, she said it's God telling me He wants to play in my sandbox this year and I need to trust in Him and let Him.

Week 27

Down 1.6 !! It was worth the 30 minute drive from our campsite to a WW location while on vacation to get that fabulous news!

Feel like I turned it around these last 2 weeks and can NOT lose momentum. I've lost 2.8 in 2 weeks, where the 2 weeks prior had been .2 gained each week. I'm at a total of 32.8 and am very eager to lose 1.x to be below 240.

I know I MUST exercise this week, even though it's miserably hot here, but I can walk on the treadmill or take the kids to the pool, so I can figure it out, I just have to force myself to do it!

This week I will walk on the treadmill, find some exercises for my home gym, exercise on the wii and do a water aerobics class.

This week I am meal planning for all our dinners and I am still trying to figure out meal planning for lunch and breakfast.

This week might be a bit of a challenge, but I am determined to have a good week because I to break that next 10!
